[Voice and then Video] - Private/Unhackablesteel_goddessOctober 11 2010, 07:54:53 UTC
Almost finished? Damn, you work fast Hal.
[She pauses for a moment, flicking the feed to video and looking him over with bright blue eyes. Samus doesn't have the most evocative face, but her lips are turned faintly down in concern.]
...how are you feeling? I saw...what happened, but I wasn't close enough to help.

[She snorts, one corner of her mouth turning up in amusement.]
Don't apologize Hal, it's not like it was something you sought to do. Has anyone talked to you about traveling armed if you're going to be out so close to the Sirens? I know you don't like lethal.
And honestly? Basic is fine. It's somewhere to start right? We can test and experiment and work on it. Anything is better than nothing at all.

[There's that smirk still, threatening to turn into a full-blown smile]
You don't have to worry about disappointing me Hal, frankly I'm happy you're just willing to try. Hell I'll pay for your time, it's not like I don't work two jo...bs. [Oops. Oh well, maybe he won't pry for the jobs.]
I know you didn't plan on it but...[She sighs.] Okay look. Sometimes that kind of thing creeps up on us, and we don't always have help within reach. I showed you my Paralyzer right? The stun gun? Since we're working on something like that for the suit, we should work on something portable for you.

Lemme help pay for the materials at least, I can't imagine they're inexpensive.
Alright. Just...think hard Hal, I don't want to see something like that happen to you again.
[Awkward Samus is suddenly awkward. She coughs lightly and looks off-screen.]
Hey...do you know anything about cars? I'm slowly putting a truck together, and the person I was doing it for went out and bought one. So now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the thing.

...what's a helicopter? [Samus -hated- having to ask questions like that, but for her these things were mostly a novelty. Hell, figuring the truck out had been like learning brain surgery.]
It's not really a priority but...something to do y'know? Although I might back-burner it while we work on the suit.

Good to know. I mean, I'd hate to disappoint you.

...I'll think about it. I don't like the idea of carrying a weapon, but maybe it'd be a good idea.

I'm pretty good at building and repairing vehicles, yeah. Last thing I worked on was a helicopter, though...
